Skyline cavern - old pics

Some old pics from the Skyline caverns...the beetle is now extinct. The first 7 they found died when they took them out of the cavern for research.

Inside the Skyline Caverns

Nativity Stalagmites

The three stalagmites at the bottom in this cavern are known as the nativity scene.

Lucky Stalagmite

This was the only thing in the cavern we were allowed to touch, it’s a stalactite that broke off. It’s shiny from all the oils on peoples hands.

The eagle

This formation is known as the eagle.

Fairyland

Worlds biggest anothodite

The crystal with the long piece hanging down is the world’s biggest Anthodite. It’s protected by a screen because they are very fragile.

Anthodites2

Closer view of another patch of anthrodites, they’re 6 sided crystals that form in a vacuum...that’s why they’re so rare.

Bethpage resort, Urbanna VA

Staying a week at the Bethpage (great name if I do say so myself) resort in the small town of Urbanna, VA on the east coast.

Bethpage campsite

Campsites here are pretty spacious, 50 ft by 50 ft

Mountain of oyster shells

Went to to the local seafood market for Oysters...this is part of the mountain of shells outside it!

Oyster mountain at seafood market

Me thinks they harvest just a few of them here! Unreal and so was the smell!

Oysters on the grill

Ate 2 dozen for dinner...grilling didn’t work so good but steaming did!

Steamed crabs

Then for lunch, went back and got 6 steamed crabs, just caught that morning for only $9. As tasty as the meat was, it was alot of work

Eating crabs is messy work

Struggling to find the meat!

Crab Aftermath

The aftermath! Not sure we’ll do that again too much work for a small bit of meat!
